Money, love and family. Which matters most?
When Diane Jenner’s husband is hurt in a helicopter crash, she discovers a secret that changes her life. And it’s all about money, the kind of money the Jenners have never had. James North has money, and he knows it doesn’t buy happiness. He’s been a rock for his wayward wife and troubled daughter - but that doesn’t stop him wanting Diane. James and Diane have something in common: they always put family first.
Which means that what happens in the back of James’s Mercedes is a really, really bad idea. Or is it?

When she meets Daryl by chance at a neighbour’s house, Maggie gets a glimpse of what it could be like to be loved properly, but something is holding her back. Maggie made a New Year’s Resolution to hold back on what she wants and what she thinks, and she doesn’t want to break it just yet.
